I agree, Stevenson is not sitting in a good place right now. Lets be realistic, a fight with Kovalev isn't happening anytime soon. Kovalev is with HBO, Stevenson is with Showtime, never the two shall meet unless it's called Tyson-Lewis LOL.
So, that leaves Stevenson with what? Pascal. But they tried negotiating already and Stevenson wanted a much bigger piece of the pie but guess what, Kovalev beat Hopkins and now has three belts. Pascal doesn't need Stevenson anymore for a big money fight, he'll look to Kovalev because he's got three belts to Stevenson's one.
All Stevenson really has is a fight with Bute (which doesn't hold much interest among the fans or networks) or a fight with Hopkins which also doesn't hold much interest anymore (since the events of the past weekend).
Haymon really ****ed up when he tried to screw around with Hopkins in negotiations, he got ****in' owned there. The guy everyone says does awesome for his fighters pretty much negotiated his way out of a big payday for his fighter with a very beatable 50 year old LOL.
Live and learn I guess
